Ryan shares how he overcame the excuses and insecurities that were holding him back from creating content by focusing on his mission instead of his appearance.

*Your mission is more important than your mug*

It’s a powerful reminder that when we lead with purpose, consistency follows.

In this Double Shot from my conversation with Cindy Skalicky, we dig into Aristotle’s timeless rhetoric triangle: ethos (credibility), pathos (emotion), and logos (logic), and how blending all three makes our communication more persuasive and memorable.

It’s a short but powerful framework for anyone who wants their message to truly resonate.
